The seven hundred and eighteenth chapter is proficient in skills, persistent in the heart, and sincere in the way
“What’s the difference?”
Li Fuzhen was very curious about this. In her opinion, it was really hard to see the cooking skills and level of this kind of stir-fry. Whether it is Chinese or Western food, she has eaten, it looks exquisite and extremely complicated.
Fried beef is obviously exquisite and complicated, and it has nothing to do with it.
Jester smiled and explained while doing it.
"Actually, although I haven't really entered this industry, my family's cooking skills, by example, can naturally understand a little. My grandfather told me before that, cooking is not enough, and at most I can be skilled and not be obsessed with the heart..."
While speaking, Jester used the method of cutting the pig with the method of cutting the beef in a diagonal manner. He cut the large piece of beef into evenly thick slices of meat.
When Li Fuzhen heard what Jester said, she was a little confused, so she frowned and asked: "What does it mean to be skilled and stick to..."
"hehe."
Jester chuckled softly, and he explained directly: "In fact, the more skilled the chefs are, the more they are, the more complicated the dishes they are, they are usually just a very ordinary dish, but they can make these ordinary ingredients produce the power to turn decay into magic... For example, the soy sauce fried tofu made by Zhang Dongguan for Qianlong, or the soup toast slices made by Ecofe for William II, are all famous delicacies that have been famous in history..."
While explaining, Jester's hand did not stop. He picked up two eggs at the same time, then broke the eggs and took out the yolks, leaving only the sticky and transparent egg whites. He added the cut beef.
"... After cutting the beef, use the egg white to marinate evenly, and then marinate it for two to three hours. This is a secret recipe passed down since ancient times, because egg whites are rich in gray matter. They can make the beef smoother, and the egg whites themselves have aromas, making it taste better when stir-frying." Li Fuzhen nodded slightly when she heard Jester explaining to herself while doing this.
"But one thing to note is that I see that many people like to use some salt or soy sauce when marinating before stir-frying beef..." When he saw Li Fuzhen's face was puzzled, Jester immediately understood the reason for the other party's doubt. Although Korean cooking is in line with Chinese cooking, Koreans mainly learn northern cooking, and the term soy sauce is generally used more in the south.
In the north, another name for soy sauce is soy sauce.
"Soy sauce is soy sauce..." After Jester explained, Li Fuzhen showed an understanding look.
"...The reason why salt or soy sauce cannot be added is because after being marinated with salt and soy sauce, the beef will shrink, and the result is that it is rough and tough. No one will like rough and tough meat..."
As Jester said, he greeted Lee Fuzhen. He went to the living room to watch the TV first, because it is not the time to cook now, so he has to marinate the beef for at least two hours before formal cooking can be started. Lee Fuzhen was also thinking about the words Jester told her about skillfulness before.
"So... have the two you just mentioned reach the point where you are obsessed with it?"
"Ha ha!"
When Jester heard Lee Fuzhen ask this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Those two... are extraordinary figures in the history of Chinese and Western cooking, not only reaching the level of being obsessed with the heart. I am afraid that their understanding of cooking has transcended the scope of skills and has reached the realm of Tao, and the so-called sincerity in Tao is probably what they say..."
When Jester spoke, his tone was also a little admirable. In any industry, people who have reached the peak are worthy of admiration, and he also knew how difficult it is to be able to make the cooking industry without a path ahead.
It's much harder than copying games.
The two people Li Fuzhen mentioned were Zhang Dongguan, who had just mentioned for Qianlong tofu, who was also the rumored maker of Manchu Hanshi, and the other one was the originator of modern Western cuisine. He was respected by the Western cooking world as "the chef of the king and the king of the chef".
"Sincerely in the Word?"
When he heard this, Li Fuzhen once again showed a puzzled look. Jester had not explained the things she had not understood before, but in the end, another noun came that she didn't understand very much.
“…sincerely…”
Jester suddenly realized that he didn't know how to explain it to Li Fuzhen, so he could only think a little and combine his own language to explain his understanding: "Actually, just like what I said before, this is a kind of power to turn decay into magic, which can cook some seemingly ordinary ingredients into delicious food that cannot be possessed by top ingredients. Such a method is called sincerity..."
This explanation is not wrong.
However, Jester was afraid that Li Fu really didn't understand, so he continued to explain: "...Look, let's talk about Zhang Dongguan's fried tofu with fermented black beans, which is fried tofu with soy sauce. It's simpler. Then look at Ecofe's toast slices, toast slices, and bread slices. There is nothing more ordinary than this. Who can't make these two things? But with this kind of thing, they made delicious food that others could not reach..."
"Turn impossible into possibility... This is probably the so-called sincerity..."
In fact, Jester himself understood these. When his grandfather mentioned the three levels of cooking with him, he only talked about being skilled, obsessed with the heart, and being sincere with the Tao... As for what these three mean.
His grandfather didn't say that, although Jester asked at the time, his grandfather's answer was also very direct.
"These things can only be understood by themselves."
"Turn impossible into possible..."
After hearing Jester's explanation, Li Fuzhen felt enlightened. She chewed this sentence carefully and suddenly felt that although she didn't understand what it meant, she seemed very powerful. Jester just smiled and didn't continue to say anything. In fact, he didn't know whether he understood it or not, maybe it was just some fur.
The two talked to each other for a few more minutes.
Jester looked at the time and the beef was almost marinated, so he smiled at Lee Fuzhen: "Absolutely, I'll finish the beef."
